In some locations, Petme requires a small, one-time application review fee before your profile is activated.
This fee covers the hard work of our team and costs such as identity verification, background checks (where applicable), manual review of your application, reaching out to any references, and any other applicable safety checks.
These steps are essential for keeping Petme a trusted and safe platform for both pet parents and sitters.
The fee is non-refundable, as per our Terms of Service, and it is only charged once the verification is completed and your application is approved.
Most sitters earn it back quickly – often with their very first booking.
Once paid, there are no further profile activation fees. Your account remains active, and you can focus on building your pet care business.
